New Synthesis for the Monobactam Antibiotic—LYS228

Abstract
A new synthesis of LYS228, fitting for further process development for commercial manufacture is described. The key features of the synthesis include development of new protocols for acylation reactions, application of an asymmetric hydrogenation via dynamic kinetic resolution and a late-stage ring closure to form β-lactam 1.
